Keep an eye out for our emails for all the latest ON program updates.

ON Accelerate is a structured, full-time sci-tech accelerator program that brings together the experience and expertise of established researchers, entrepreneurs and inspiring mentors. Through ON Accelerate we work with you to reach impact faster by focusing on the business model, finding funding for runway and getting out there to tell your story.

By providing you with the frameworks and coaching to help develop and test the best market fit of your ideas, position your IP in a value chain through practical engagement, and design business models that lead to long-term sustainable impact, you'll be able to better fast-track your thinking.

What does participating in ON Accelerate involve?

Participation in the program involves a 12-week commitment from participants, with approximately 30 per cent of the program delivered in face-to-face residentials.

ON Accelerate concludes in a public 'Demo Night' where each team has the opportunity to showcase their ideas to industry and stakeholders – including multinational corporations, large Australian enterprises, SMEs, government, investors and universities.

All IP remains the property of the team or their sponsoring institute, and all participants in each accelerator are required to sign non-disclosure agreements for IP protection.

Following ON Accelerate, teams who demonstrate outstanding progress may be eligible for additional incubation funding from CSIRO or their sponsoring institute.

Funding

Each team successful in gaining a spot in ON Accelerate is provided with a $15,000 OPEX budget to assist them with participation in the program. An additional performance bonus of up to $10,000 is available for high performing teams at the midway point of ON Accelerate.
